Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is a crack pot (Ranking Member)
Ros-Lehtinen has supported and sponsored legislation for the Church of Scientology, attended Scientology events, received recognition from Scientology publications, and collected numerous sizable campaign donations from prominent Scientologists.

Calls to assassinate Fidel Castro

Ros-Lehtinen again stirred controversy by calling for the assassination of Cuban Leader Fidel Castro. She appears in the British documentary 638 Ways to Kill Castro, saying: "I welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate Fidel Castro and any leader who is oppressing the people."

After a 28-second clip began circulating on the Internet, the Havana-born lawmaker claimed the filmmakers spliced clips together to get the sound bite. Twenty-four hours after the controversy erupted, director Dollan Cannell sent unedited tapes of his interview with Ros-Lehtinen to reporters. The uncut version contradicted Ros-Lehtinen's response and showed that she had twice welcomed an attempt on Castro's life. Though she attempted to distance herself from her denial, filmmaker Cannell requested an apology, which has not been forthcoming.

war on Castro. Holding back fellow Cubans in Cuba while Cubans in the U.S. do very well and some make a bunch of money on anti-Castro manueverings.

By the way - how's Luis Posada Carilles doing? Still protected by the Republican and Democratic leaders led by Cuban-Americans? American soil terrorist with a CIA employment. Out free. A terrorist is walking free. Totally protected.

With intended disrespect for her.
